President Nicusor Dan said on Wednesday, at the presentation of the National Defence Strategy in Parliament, that there is a gap between the overall development of the Romanian society and the way the public administration responds.
The head of state said that the document submitted for parliamentary approval addresses national security from the citizen's perspective, namely the relationship between the citizen and the Romanian state and the citizen's trust in the state, agerpres reports.
"There is a gap between the overall development of the Romanian society (...) and the way public administration responds," the head of state said.
The president mentioned that the central element of the Strategy is "solidary independence."
Furthermore, he also referred to the threats outlined in the strategy.
"We are seeing attacks on critical infrastructure in multiple places, including close to us," he said.
In this context, Nicusor Dan referred to "the war next door and the hybrid war that Russia is waging against Romania and many European countries, cyberattacks, coordinated disinformation campaigns and the impact of these pressures on democracy and the rule of law."
Moreover, he also showed that corruption is mentioned as a threat in the National Defence Strategy.
The Chamber of Deputies and the Senate convened on Wednesday in a joint session, with President Nicusor Dan delivering a message on Romania's National Defence Strategy for 2025-2030.
